The record monthly snowfall in January of that year helped contribute to the record depth. A maximum snow depth of 451 inches, or 37.5 feet, was recorded there on March 11, 1911, according to Burt. record for the greatest snow depth ever measured. Tamarack, California, also holds the U.S. Greatest Snow Depth on Record: 451 Inches The site of this record is at an elevation of 7,000 feet near where the Bear Valley Ski Resort is now. Tamarack's location high in the Sierra Nevada makes it an ideal location to intercept copious amounts of moisture provided by an active storm track off the Pacific Ocean. That's nearly twice the average snowfall during an entire winter in very snowy Marquette, Michigan, which averages about 204 inches annually. Tamarack, California, holds the record for the most snow in a calendar month with 390 inches (32.5 feet) in January 1911, according to Burt. (USGS/Ken McGee) Most Snow Measured in a Month A committee reviewed the report and determined the Silver Lake record should remain after finding that proper climatological guidelines were not used to measure the snow in Montague. In 1997, a report of 77 inches of snow measured in 24 hours in Montague, New York, was submitted for review by NOAA to see if the Silver Lake record was defeated. That location recorded 6.3 feet of snow in a single day at an elevation of 10,220 feet in the Colorado Rockies, according to NOAA. If you were 6 feet tall and standing outside for 24 hours in Silver Lake, Colorado, April 14-15, 1921, you would've been buried by snow from head to toe. Snowfall is measured in feet each winter across northern and western parts of the United States, but there are some all-time records that stand out for how much snow fell in a day, month or season.īelow, we take a look at a few of the highest benchmarks, with the caveat that snowfall records are not available for every location in the U.S., especially in remote areas.
